Towing & Sizing Guide
For buyers matching a truck to a trailer. The payload math that sets your real towing limit, the hitch parts that must agree, and what to confirm.
What’s in the guide
- Why the lowest rating in the combination wins, and why payload runs out before tow rating on real trucks.
- Tongue weight explained, and the four-line math that turns your door-jamb payload into the loaded trailer your truck honestly carries.
- A table matching each truck class, from mid-size to one-ton dually, to the trailer classes it handles.
- The hitch system, weight distribution, brake controllers, wiring, and mirrors.
- A before-the-dealer checklist, questions to ask on the lot, walk-away signs, and quick answers on what your truck can tow.
